Also one item not mentioned in previous discussion is interest rates.

Either would go on your personal 1040 but the difference is on which line item.

Some other items came up that needed repaired and I've used the property for other purposes since then.

Try to find sellers that have a lot of details on their flyers.

Any pointers, articles or books about these items would be much appreciated!

Message me for details.

It’s a simple in concept but extremely detailed and paperwork / knowledge intensive strategy.

As far as out-of-state investing goes, I would recommend reading this article I wrote on it a while back: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/12/23/investing-out-of-state-essential-items-to-vet/.

If that's the case, then I'd think you would be responsible, in my opinion, since you can't really expect the buyer to go into the crawlspace to inspect items like that. 

Wondering what the benefits would be to them, if any, on doing a zero interest loan for us.Sorry for not having a ton of details here, this is the first non residential deal I'm doing so not entirely sure of what questions to ask.Thanks in advance.
